NEW YORK NEW YORK. I love shooting Manhattan at night. My Leica Monochrom and a fast 24mm Summilux f1.4 lens let me produce very interesting night images working without a tripod. I spend a lot of time shooting straight up.
On this day last year: Light snow.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – More urban landscape (here from the West end of 14th Street) with my Leica S, but less stylized than yesterday and thus less successful. This is three frames stitched in Photoshop.
On this day last year: Painting.
NEW YOR NEW YORK – As I may have mentioned before I’m in the process of getting my sea legs with a new camera, a Leica S medium format camera. This is always lengthy process. It obviously requires familiarity with the controls, but also an understanding of the camera’s capabilities and how to get the most out of it. This requires months of intense usage. Some of my early images have been uninteresting but I’m starting to hit my stride working back over some familiar territory. Today it was skyscrapers in dramatic light, something that I’ve done a lot of given my inclination toward landscape and my residence in Manhattan.
On this day last year: hay bales.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – Some barely ok images with my Leica S. I’m hard a work figuring out how to get the best results from this thing, which as I have mentioned before has replaced my Phase One 80 meg digital back and tech camera.
On this day last year: Belgique.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – Egads, more fog. Will this ever end? Taken with my Leica S medium format camera out our living room window.
On this day last year: Belgique.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – I’m looking for some of those winter days with lovely brilliant light to give my new Leica S medium format camera a chance to shine. No luck. More freezing rain and fog. So I put it on a tripod and shot out our window, here with a 120mm macro lens.
On this day last year: Staples. January 11 is clearly another undistinguished date on my calendar.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – Taken with my Leica Monochrom and 18mm Super Elmar lens – one of my very favorite lenses.
On this day last year: Earthship.
